Ensure that the conductors do not touch each other.
Do not connect the cable ground to the XLR
chassy
.
The plug housing must be isolated. Connect the mixer signal to the DMX IN projector plug and
connect it to the next projector by connecting the DMX OUT plug on the first projector to the DMX
IN plug of the second one.
T
his way all the projectors are cascade connected.
NB. If the display showing the DMX address flashes, then one of the following errors has occurred:
- DMX signal not present
- DMX address not valid
- DMX reception problem
The standard configuration of the XM2500 is with XLR 5 pins connection.
To convert to an XLR 3 pins configuration proceed as follows:
1) Remove the 4 screws fixing the display cover panel to the unit (photo 1).
2) Remove the screws that fix the XLR connectors to the panel (photo 2).
3) Rotate the electronic card by 180° (photo 3).
4) Place the 3 pins XLR connectors in the special holes and close.
For Installations where long distance DMX cable connections are needed,we suggest
to use a DMX terminator.
The DMX terminator is a male XLR 3-5 pins connector with a 120 ohm resistor
between pin 2 and 3.
The DMX terminator must be plugged in the last unit (DMX out panel connector) of the
DMX line.
